BICEP, ELIZA // CHROMA 008 TANGZ
A decade after BICEP first remixed ELIZA’s work, ‘CHROMA 008 TANGZ’ makes for a mesmerising composition pumped with tantalising slow-builds and moments of euphoric release. ‘CHROMA 008 TANGZ’ made its live debut during BICEP’s Drumsheds takeover way back in 2023.
John Glacier // Ocean Steppin’ (ft. Sampha)
John Glacier joins Sampha’s unparalleled list of collaborations ahead of new album Like A Ribbon (dropping on Valentine’s Day). ‘Ocean Steppin” places Glacier’s breezy charisma front and centre, lounging atop a bare-bones soundbed.
Porridge Radio // Don’t Want To Dance
Porridge Radio bandleader Dana Margolin has shared the news that forthcoming Machine Starts To Sing EP will be their final release as a band. ‘Don’t Want To Dance’ makes for a fitting opening salvo to the closing chapter of an exceptional band.
Whatever The Weather // 12°C
Loraine James has announced the arrival of Whatever The Weather II; her second release under the moniker. Expansive with a sense of fun, WTW marks a more free-flowing outlet for James’ industrious talents.
Sam Akpro // Evenfall
Seemingly bending time and space, Sam Akpro colours a concussively woozy flow with moments of urgency on ‘Evenfall’. Check out the Pedro Takahashi-directed video below.
Chalk // Afraid
Belfast’s Chalk will complete their Conditions trilogy with the 21st Feb release of (you guessed it) Conditions III. Industrial and unrelenting, Chalk have built an iron bridge between snarling punk and swirling trance, and ‘Afraid’ simply begs to be played before a circle pit.
